Energy Medicine

Energy Medicine is any practice that works with energy as a vital, living, moving force that is at the foundation of our well-being.

Energy Medicine is any practice that works with energy as a vital, living, moving force that is at the foundation of our well-being. In Energy Medicine, the body is healed by activating its own natural healing energies and by restoring energies that have become weakened or out of balance. Energy Medicine is both the patient and the healer, in that the practitioner not only addresses and works on the different aspects of the body's energy systems, but also uses these energies as part of the healing process.

Energy Medicine draws upon the knowledge of some of the most Traditional Healing systems known to mankind. That the physical body's health and wellbeing was actually dependent upon an underlying and largely invisible set of inter-dependent energy systems has been known in Chinese, Hindu, Tibetan and Polynesian cultures for thousands of years. These systems include the Meridians, used in Acupuncture, the Chakras and the Aura. Disease appears in the energy system before it appears in the physical body, and a physical or psychological illness in the body or mind is a sign of imbalance in one or more of the body's energy systems. If the imbalance can be rectified, there is no longer a basis for the physical disease, and it will simply fade away.

These energies of the subtle body are essentially electromagnetic in nature and have been documented and 'proven' by the use of scientific measuring equipment. The human energy field or 'bio-field' was first measured as early as 1930 in studies at Yale University. It is now commonly recognised that all living systems are surrounded and permeated by a bio-field of energy. State of the art measuring equipment is now demonstrating proof of the existence of all of these previously invisible energy systems.

Energy Medicine doesn't treat disease as such - it addresses the body's energy systems and the relative balance and flow between them. Energy wants to move in specific patterns within the body. When there is good harmony and flow this is reflected in robust good physical and psychological health.

The EM Practitioner uses techniques in a gentle and non-invasive, but extremely powerful, way to promote balance, increase health, vitality and even help bring more joy into a client's life. Energy Medicine can augment other therapies as well as act as a stand-alone system of healing to restore and maintain good health.

Energy Medicine may help with many conditions, including:

• Chronic Pain

Energy Medicine is not yet a certified therapy in the UK. However, one of the most comprehensive and well recognised trainings is Eden Energy Medicine, which is based upon the work of Donna Eden, who is recognised as one of the leading, most authoritative and inspiring pioneers in this rapidly emerging field of medicine. Eden Energy Medicine Practitioners have been taught to track the body's energy systems, using energy testing, in order to ascertain the specific imbalances needing to be corrected. They will also teach you a 'daily routine' in order to keep yourself well.
